Watch the latest business video at FOXBusiness.comHere is video of Fox News' Brit Hume today talking about "cracks" in the Democratic coalition necessary to pass ObamaCare in the U.S. Senate.

Hume said Sen. Blanche Lincoln is the senator to watch because ObamaCare is "wildly unpopular" in her home state of Arkansas.

Hume believes it is possible the Democrats could persuade Lincoln, Nelson, and Landrieu to vote for cloture to move to a final vote, but lose Joe Lieberman. That would leave it in the hands of a liberal Republican like Olympia Snowe.

Hume also said Obama's speech tomorrow night at West Point will bear watching to see if Obama ever really declares he is determined to achieve victory there - something he has been very hesitant to say in plain terms.

Here is a link to see the steps remaining for ObamaCare to become a reality.

They still have the cloture vote and lining up the votes will take several weeks, at least. Republicans will also stall the bill by adding various amendments which will all be debated and then ‘thrown out’ by Democrats. If we can drag our feet on this thing into Mid-February or March, it will be too close to elections for them to act on it much less to be able to reconcile this with the house bill.
